When I first got my car, I was pretty fired up about detailing. Since then, my interest has sort of tapered off. And my car suffered. For months it went neglected, without even a wash. But all that changed this weekend. I finally got up enough ambition to attack this car. Luckily it's...

Hi I'm in the final stages of finishing my Masters Degree in Business Management. My final project is going to be a case study of a business focusing on three key aspects of business covered in the previous parts of the MBA program. I've recently developed an interest in auto detailing as...

So I've been working on detailing my black G35 this week. I managed to get 95% of the defects out using a combo of Menzerna Intensive Polish and an orange pad followed by 106ff with a white pad. The paint is super glossy, and smooth. My question is what is next? I plan to use souveran as...

I was in Pep Boys today and saw two products I had never seen before. 1. Black Magic Anti-Static Interior Protectant - I've seen their Pro Shine stuff before, but this stuff was in a different bottle, next to the Pro Shine. It was in a red bottle and it said that it was specifically designed...

I've seen alot of click & brags where the detailer used a carpet extractor to clean filthy old carpets and make them look new again. I looked and they seem to go for anywhere between $600 and $3000. That is a little more than I want to spend since this is just a hobby for me right now. I...

I just got a white LC 5.5" polishing pad but the velcro is peeling off on one side. I'm wondering can this be glued back together somehow? I received the pad as a free bonus with another product that I bought so I don't think I should bother returning it. I would like to use the pad, is...

I ordered some Collinite 845 because I currently don't have anything that I would call a "durable" wax. However, I love my Souveran, so I was wondering if I could top the Collinite with the souveran every couple of weeks just for looks.

Im thinking of picking up some Menzerna Intensive Polish and I'm thinking that I might want to follow it up with a finer polish to remove any haze and micromarring that occures with the IP. According to the Menzerna chart on Autogeek.net, the Final Polish has a cut rating of 3.0 out of 5...

Hey Folks, I detailed my Mother's car this weekend. It hadn't been touched since the last time I detailed it in October. Even then though, I didn't know nearly as much as I do now. I also, didn't have a PC back then. The pics don't show it very well, but the car was in some bad shape...

If you're a member of the AutoGeek.net forum you can get 6 free cobra MF applicators and a free bottle of pinnacle micro rejuvenator detergent when you order over $100. Does anyone know of any other freebies out there? Do any companies send free samples? If anyone knows of any way to get...

I'm wondering do Terry Cloth Bonnets over a wool pad on the PC have any practical use? They seem to be for product application. Does that mean I could use them with non-cutting products like Klasse SG, Megs #7, Mothers Step 2 SG, Liquid wax, etc. I usually apply those products with a gray or...

I've polished my car with Megs #9, which I understand contains fillers and oils etc. I still have a few minor defects, but I don't want to polish any more than I have to. A good sealer/glaze should fix the rest I think. I have some Klasse SG, but as I understand it, it doesn't work as well...

I've been having lukewarm success with products and process up until this point. I have a black Infinity that swirls easily. I've been using Optimum polish and an orange pad on the PC followed by Klass AIO, Klasse SG, and then a coat of Souveran using white pad, gray pad, and hand...

I mentioned this in another post but I'm having trouble getting swirl marks out of my black g35. I've used Klass AIO and Optimum Polish with only moderate success. I've been frustrated about it and I've realized that there is no magical answer, I'm just going to try as many different...

I'm sorry, I don't have any pics but I'll try my best to explain my problem. I have a 2006 black Infinity G35. I've had it since October. I did my best to keep the paint looking good but somehow the car got some swirl marks and marring. This didn't bother me, because I got a PC for xmas...

I remember hearing something about KSG taking 12 hours to harden before you could put another layer of KSG on top. Is that true? Does that rule only apply to 2nd layers of KSG? In other words, could i put a coat or two of Souveran on top of a fresh layer of KSG or do I have to wait 12...

I got a PC for X-mas. I also got a set of pads, some Optimum Polish, Klasse Twins, Souveran, and some cobra MF towels. My black G35 had tons of swirls and scratches that I could see under a halogen worklight. The day after x-mas I got up early and went after them. I started with a white...

I've been doing some research and it seems that a relatively easy and inexpensive way to spruce up my car is to paint the calipers. I've heard of people buying kits for as low as $8 and spending less than two hours of work to get sharp looking calipers. What comes in these "kits". Do they...

For the firs time in a long time I got a whole after noon to devote to my car. No Kids, no wife, no nothing. Just me and my black '06 Infinity G35 sedan. Today was pretty mild too so with the electric heater in the garage I was able to work around the harsh New Hampshire winter weather. I...

I got some Meguairs Leather Conditioner. If you don't know what Im talking about it is the product on the bottom left of this page here Product Catalogue I was surprised that it was so thick. I mean it was REALLY thick. I could squeeze some out and then hold it in my hand like play-dough...
